    It’s too old, the beds are not as comfortable, the sofa was broken, so we ended up sleeping in the same bed. The hosts didn’t speak any English, it made it very difficult to explain our needs.

    It was great location.

    The location of this hotel is the selling point. For the rest, it leaves a lot to be desired. The wifi in my room was awful. I asked the night reception if there was anything he could do and he was not helpful. The receptionists who worked the day shift were very helpful. My room was tiny and the bathroom was small. The shower stall was tiny. I'm 5"3 and slim. A bigger and heavier person would have had a hard time showering! The bed was more like a cot with a terrible mattress. I slept horribly for the three nights I was there. As I said you pick this hotel for the location and nothing much. I didn't take breakfast because there are great places for coffee around the hotel. It is a great location.

    Easy walking to main sites, hospitable staff, and a taste of Vienna from another era. A university district do lots of young people and vitality.

    The room definitely needs redecoration since the hotel claims to be 4 stars. It is old but clean, which is great. However, the shower was broken. And the bed wasn’t that comfortable. There was also barely any light in the room.

    The staff there is great, friendly and very helpful. The location is good, not far from the city center. The breakfast was ok, although the coffee machine definitely has to be changed.

    The hotel is definetly not an easy walking distance to anything. You should probably use public transportation. Some places like Belvedere and Schoenbrunn impossible to walk to. We were there for six days and the breakfast never varied. No more scrambled eggs and wiener for mr. be ready for huge crowds everywhere. Not cheap.

    The property itself was fine probably a three star. The castles etc were awesome.

    Nice and attarctive hotel, but some items to be improved
    • Leisure trip

    AC did not work (probably because it was winter). Warming batteries worked only in the morning and in the evening and were not really hot. Sounds from adjacent rooms are clearly heard. There is a gap between the entrance door bottom and the floor, as a result of which it is not dark enough in the room in the night, because the light penetrates from the corridor to inside the room. The Wi-Fi was not stable. The most important for me at least: the hot water in the shower was not really hot. At the maximum hot level, it was warm enough to take shower, but not really hot.

    Good location, close to the city center. Polite and helping staff. Very good and tasty breakfast. Nice old-fashioned European style of rooms and building.

    The room felt a litte bit stuffy and dusty but otherwise no issues.

    the room was very spacious, very warm as it was super cold and snowing, the breakfast options were varied and delicious! It was slightly dated and a bit dusty but quite good value for money.

    Breakfast could have been better and a least a bit more diverse. Style of the hotel is very kitsch, big paintings, color of table covers etc. I think the place needs interior designer.

    Room was spacious enough for the price. There was always hot water in the shower. Location was pretty good an close enough to city center to travel on foot.

    Just a short 15 minute walk from the center and the Rathaus Der Stadt is locsted in a very good position just in front of the University Campus. You'll find some restaurants option for the evening (and Zum Gangl in the campus is just amazing) Bed and sofa-bed are comfortable and the kitchen fornitoure great as well as the perfect temperature in winter. It looks very clean and absolutely safe.
